An event earmarked as the first tournament that brings together brother and sister schools on to the same pitch, reuniting to share friendship will be unveiled at CR&FC on the 12th of November when C Rugby Carnival organized by Agoal International takes place at Longdon Place.
This year the organizers are trying out the unique approach where 16 boys schools are paired with their respective sister schools in making up the teams.
The tournament will have 16 combined teams of past students from brother/sister schools Royal/Visakha, Isipathana/St. Paul’s, St. Joseph’s/St. Bridget’s, Kingswood/Girls’ High School Kandy, Wesley/Methodist, D.S. Senanayake/Sirimavo Bandaranayake, Ananda/Musaeus, Trinity/Hillwood and Ladies, S. Thomas’/Bishop’s, St. Anthony’s/Good Shepard Convent Kandy, St. Sylvester’s/St. Anthony’s girl’s school, Dharmaraja/Mahamaya, St. Benedict’s/Good Shepherd Convent and Vidyartha/Pushpadana Girls School.
Each team will be allowed two players above the age category of over-25, three players above 35 years of age and two female players from the sister school of the boy’s team. This mix ensures players from different eras coming together and the anticipation and rush of excitement of old comrades to register teams show huge promise for this event.
